In the Palace, Zhou Shuren and the Minister of War were walking together. They hadn't left the Palace yet when the Emperor found out the news. Now, hearing that Zhou Shuren invited Li Zhao to sit at the Ministry of Revenue, the Emperor laughed. With Zhou Shuren involving the Minister of War, the waters became even muddier.
Several Princes were also somewhat muddled. How did Zhou Shuren and Li Zhao become connected?
The Crown Prince was steady. He knew the Emperor hadn't said anything to Zhou Shuren, and as for Li Zhao, this man was only loyal to the Emperor, so he had nothing to worry about.
At the Zhou residence, after breakfast, Xue Mei and Jiang Sheng stayed behind. Xue Mei said, "Mother, the house you helped me buy doesn't need much tidying up. My husband and I have discussed it, and we are planning to move in today."
